GNOME/Slab

From openSUSE

The GNOME Main Menu

When you install openSUSE/GNOME, you will notice that the menu is not the same as on other Linux distributions. We ship it with the GNOME Main Menu, also referred to as; Slab, g-m-m and "The new GNOME menu". As part of Slab, there's also an Application Browser (ab for short).

Here is a screenshot of Slab;
